Klaipèda-based shipyard Western Baltija Shipbuilding officially started the steel cutting ceremony of the 60m car ferry KLAIPĖDA for operator Smiltynės perkėla AB.
This double-ender will be used to connect the shores of Klaipèda.
Capacity: 600 pax and 40 cars or 8 trucks.
TT-Line will expand the route between their Swedish hub in Trelleborg and Klaipeda (Lithuania), with up to five departures a week.
The ships will berth at a new, modern ferry terminal in Klaipeda, to be used exclusively by TT-Line. The freight will no longer have to pass the Klaipeda city centre, which will give a faster access to the road network in Lithuania.
